I'm going to bring a trifle already made to my next show...how far ahead can I make it? It would be ideal if I could make it the day before, or at the latest, the early morning of the show....
I'm leaning towards the Strawberry Cheesecake right now.
 
I have always made a Death by Chocolate Trifle the DAY OF a show. It would be too mushy to be made the day before.
 
I have made the Strawberry Trifle the night before and it is still good the next day. Not soggy at all.
 
sorry - I meant the Death by Chocolate Trifle would be soggy if made the day before.

I think the Strawberry Trifle would be great! :)

Amara - would you make a salad for a make-ahead trifle - that is always an option too!

That is my FAVORITE trifle, and it will do fine if you make it the night before and let it sit!!

Thanks everyone!

I'm kind of making a lot of food for this one special friend/host, so I wanted to save time and make the trifle ahead.

I'll probably make it the morning of the show.
